Not my favorite, but I don't dislike it either. Wouldn't matter either way. I'm still going to do it.

Weak lift that beats up my shoulders, what is there to like about it? For some strange reason I still do it.

Used to hate it, now I love it. But it does piss me off at times.

I definitely prefer the standing press compared to the bench press, along with the respective variations of each of those two. However, I wouldn't say that the bench press sucks. If it wasn't one of the three contested lifts in powerlifting, I would still be doing it, but not nearly as much as the clean & press, and overhead press from the rack.
